I remember seeing the 96 bus in Longsight. Used to run from East Didsbury, to Piccadilly, then onto Whitefield. You don’t really see cross town buses anymore, which makes no sense, as I am sure it's cheaper and more environmentally to have a route run by one services, instead of two separate services? Lets hope the Bee Network brings them back.
Glad that the video brings back memories! So far the only notable longer distance been network routes I can think of are the 100 to Warrington and 184 to Halifax
